Sorry got confused with all the different posts. Thought this was a update from OPThat 2 yr. old elbow came out of the OPs boat. See post #1. Mine was at least seven years old. Replaced during my last bottom job. I trust this mech. Any other mech could have raked me over the coals with any number of bogus things that they claimed were in need of replacement. It may be that this mech is just my guru but, trust is important.
